Rose has been perfuming this part of the country for centuries. Kannauj, a few hours upriver from us, has been distilling attar from desi gulab since Mughal times, and no Banarasi paan is complete without a spoon of gulkand — rose petals crushed with sugar and left to soften in the sun. That is the flavour memory this sweet reaches for: not the sharp rose of a bottled essence, but the slow, jam-like sweetness of petals that have been sitting quietly in a jar. We wrapped it around dry fruit rather than khoya, so what you get is fragrance and chew rather than richness — the piece that cuts through a heavy festive box. It has become a favourite with customers who want to send something generous to a house where somebody is watching their sugar.

Tastes exactly like the peda we used to get in Varanasi as kids. Not overly sweet, and the texture is spot on. Ordered a second box within the week.
Ordered for a family function, arrived well packed and fresh. Everyone asked where I got it from. Will reorder for Diwali.
Good taste, slightly sweeter than I expected but still very good quality. Delivery was quick, within 3 days.
We begin preparing only after your order is confirmed — never off a shelf that's been sitting for days.
Traditional slow-cooking methods with 100% pure ghee, for the authentic Banarasi taste in every piece.
Sealed immediately to lock in aroma and moisture, so every box reaches you kitchen-fresh.
